Wilmington, a city in southeast North Carolina, is known for its historic district and nearby beaches. Describing it as "picturesque" doesn't do it justice. Some visitors may recognize Wilmington as the real-life site of TV's One Tree Hill. The area's subtropical climate means that its summer can be hot and sticky, but the warm spring and autumn are what cause most travelers to book flights to Wilmington. Once there, visitors have plenty to do. Historical sites, aquariums, museums and theatres leave you spoilt for choice. Luckily there is also excellent food to enjoy while you decide. Wilmington is a superb destination for holidaymakers to enjoy at their leisure.
Wilmington has a fascinating history stretching back for hundreds of years. Many of Wilmington's attractions are based around this long and storied history, however that's not all it has to offer. Wilmington is a diverse and lively city. Thanks to its proximity to the sea, Wilmington also offers fantastic fish and seafood. The excellent local cooking is perfect to refuel after a long day of seeing the sights.
